Unrated Critic Reviews for Sheep Take a Hike

Kirkus Reviews

/ Sheep climb through the spaceship door.” Shaw’s familiar, bouncy rhymes are well-matched to the loopy plot, with weightless sheep rolling around inside the ship, and alien sheep (green with antennae that contain extra eyes) coming aboard to help them out of an interplanetary mess.

Kirkus Reviews

In their sixth appearance, Shaw's six insouciant sheep bumble their way through an expedition featuring the usual trials and mishaps of novice hikers (steep climbs, briars, arguing about the trail, a bog, getting lost).

Publishers Weekly

This adventure lacks the comic fullness of the best of Shaw and Apple's work, said PW, but the light verse ""is as snappy as ever"" and the sheep's facial expressions remain ""delightfully emotive."" Ages 2-6.
